of the way in
and toar him in peaces and et most of him. it is
verry xpensive to keep two mutch stock but i hait
to let eether of them go. Hork is all rite and Spitt
is all rite but Hork and Spitt together is moar than
1 feller can feed unless he is a butcher or a fishcart
man or a rat ketcher.

tonite the Terible 3 dident comit enny crime becaus
Billy Morris Nigger ministrils give a show in
the town hall and we all went. at 1 oh clock there
was a parade and there band plaid. it is a ripper
and can play almost as loud as the Exeter Band.
tonite we all went. it was the funiest show i ever
went to. it beat Comical Brown all to peaces and
the orchistry was splendid. They sung shoo fli dont
bodder me and little Maggy May, Way down upon
the Swany river and Massa is in the cold cold
ground and they dansed clog danses and had funny
direlogs. i tell you it was fine. so the Terible 3
dident do nothing. somehow when a feller is laffin
he doesent feel like comitting crimes unless it is
funny ones.

October 17, 186---missed in grammer today and
got licked. not very bad only he shook me round
until he toar my coller and neckti off. i jest wish
the Terible 3 wood plug old Francis sum time with
bricks.

old J. Ward Levitt has found out who broak his
winders and has got his pay for them. he come over
tonite and told me and father about it. he sed he
went down to Squawboo Bowleys and asted him
about it and Squawboo proofed that he was down to
Charles Grants store on Hemloc square with Peenut
Perkins all that evening. then he went down to old
Heads house and asted two stewcats about it and
they sed they never done it then J. Ward he told
them they wood pay him for them winders or he
wood go to doctor Soule of the academy about it
and them fellers sed they never done it but had
ruther pay for 2 winders than to have doctor Soule
asting them questions, and so J. Ward sed they
pade him 50 cents for the 2 winders and 50 cents
for the trubble he had in detecking them and maiking
them confess. he sed they sed that they dident
confess and never done it but he sed if they was
onnest fellers they woodent pay for brakeing winders
whitch they hadent never broak and he sed
aint that rite Geroge? to father and father he laffed
and sed well i aint so sure about that. i was in the
academy under docter Soule and gess there wasent
enny time i was ther after the ferst weak that i
woodent rather pay for 2 windows than to have
docter Soule
